On the other side, Corpse-Driving Sect, Disciple Peak.

Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel, and the realm section had already changed:

[Realm: Three-acupoint Martial Artist (600/600), Iron Skin Martial Artist (174/600), Qi Cultivation 0 Level (131/600)]

Having joined the Corpse-Driving Sect for three full months, his martial arts cultivation was about to make another breakthrough.

He looked at the faint + sign appearing after the Three-acupoint Martial Artist, imagining a force pressing on it:

Three-acupoint Martial Artist (600/600) → Four-acupoint Martial Artist (0/600)

The Five Internal Orifices instantly reached perfection in cultivation.

In the next moment, the mass of pale red energy stored in the lower Dantian began to circulate rapidly within his body.

'Splash!'

Within Lou Yi's body, obvious water sounds emerged, and a large amount of white steam oozed from his body surface, quickly filling the cave and continuously spilling out.

"What happened?" In the adjacent cave, a mid-stage Qi Cultivation senior brother was alarmed, came out for a look, and was even more surprised.

"What cultivation technique is being practiced?"

"If I remember correctly, this cave houses that junior brother proficient in martial arts. Could it be another breakthrough in martial arts?"

"So that's it, but no matter how great martial arts cultivation is, it's hard to achieve big things.

Just hope that the junior brother doesn't get blinded, delaying Immortal Dao cultivation..."

Guessing that Lou Yi was practicing martial arts, the Qi Refiners on the mountain quickly lost interest in him.

Martial arts, a mere lesser path, no matter the spectacle, could not stir their emotions.

Inside the cave, Lou Yi tightly closed his eyes.

Unaware that the commotion from his breakthrough was noticed by the outside world, receiving an evaluation of not focusing on the right pursuits.

At this moment, a massive change was occurring within his body.

The red true strength circulated in his body for several weeks, finally reaching the position of the five viscera, beginning a process of refinement and enhancement one by one.

A vast number of cells in the organs were transforming at thousands of times the previous speed, constantly dying and rebirthing, ultimately changing from deep red to reddish-purple.

The originally relatively fragile heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys experienced a transformation, increasing in density several times, their strength becoming incredibly tenacious, and their resistance to impact substantially enhanced.

Moreover, a tightly-knit and resilient spider web of nerves connected all the organs closely, as if forming a single whole.

No matter which organ faced the slightest force from outside, they would bear the damage together, minimizing the harm.

Of course, changes were far beyond those visible on the surface.

For instance, the transformation of the heart greatly enhanced blood supply capabilities, significantly boosting the martial artist's endurance.

No longer would a brief combat encounter cause a decline in Qi-blood;

The liver's transformation greatly enhanced detoxification abilities.

Ordinary toxins no longer had any effect on him, and his hearing and vision were sharper than ever;

The kidney transformation increased the Qi-blood limit...

Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel:

[Name: Lou Yi]

[Age: 20/130]

[Realm: Four-acupoint Martial Artist (0/600), Iron Skin Martial Artist (174/600), Qi Cultivation 0 Level (131/600)]

...

[Energy: 15586]

After this breakthrough, the age increased by a full ten years.

This was the most direct change brought by the transformation of the five viscera and six bowels.

Relying on the Zone Wujiu's endless supply of insects, the energy had already accumulated over ten thousand points.

However, the recent rate of accumulation began to decline, gathering only a little over a hundred points per day.

Lou Yi started measuring the change in strength.

A punch was thrown, with chaotic airflow, shaking the entire cave.

'Should exceed fifty thousand pounds,' Lou Yi estimated.

He went to the field in Zone Wujiu to test by overlaying the secret technique Dragon-piercing Technique, and discovered something shocking.

The total strength couldn't surpass one hundred thousand pounds.

It seems the Dragon-piercing Technique also has its limits.

When the basic strength exceeds fifty thousand pounds, it can't double the strength anymore.

One hundred thousand pounds might be a threshold.

However, since the strength was just over fifty thousand pounds, the sense wasn't necessarily accurate, so it could only be validated in the next breakthrough.

Moreover, after breaking through to the four acupoints, the true strength within Lou Yi also got enhanced.

Although it was still pale red, the color was noticeably deeper than when it was at the three acupoints.

As for the power of the true strength when shot out…

'Whoosh!'

Lou Yi extended his right index finger, a red energy ray burst from the finger, directly piercing into the nearby hard mountain wall.

Lou Yi walked over to check, with his astonishing eyesight, discovering the pit's depth was no less than over a foot deep.

This was terrifying.

The hardness of the mountain wall was considerably harder than granite from his previous life.

Even using a Barrett with armor-piercing bullets, it could at most penetrate one or two inches deep.

Now, the attack power of the Body-Breaking True Strength had exceeded the Barrett by countless times.

If used on a cultivator.

Lou Yi believed that even a late-stage Qi Cultivator might not be able to withstand it.

However, he had too little actual combat experience with late-stage Qi Cultivators, and everything was just estimation.

Whether it works or not, it needs to be tested in battle.

Lou Yi went to the field in Zone Wujiu to test and found the effective range of the true strength had also increased a lot, making it possible to take a head from a kilometer away without any difficulty.

With this long-range enemy-attacking method, the slingshot would likely never be needed again.

After breaking through to the Four-acupoint Martial Artist, the proficiency of the perfection level of the Second Stage Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique dropped again.

By actively practicing it, five proficiency points could be improved daily, while not practicing could provide two proficiency points.

It seems that to break through to the fifth acupoint, it would take four months of effort.

Following this pace, even if martial arts cultivation is perfected, it would at most be by next year.

However, how should the subsequent martial arts progress?

After perfecting the Five Acupoints cultivation, has martial arts truly reached its end?

As the saying goes, people without foresight will face immediate worries.

Lou Yi had to think more about the future of martial arts.

After all, compared to others, his advantage mainly lay in martial arts.

Immortal Dao cultivation was too slow, by the time it formed a battle power, it was unknown how many years would have passed.

'Forget it, take one step at a time.

If the Breathing Technique is cultivated to its extreme, there's also the Skin Refining Technique.

If nothing else, search for other martial arts training methods. In any case, the pace of progress cannot stop.'

'Is Martial Artist truly at its peak, does the legendary Martial Saint Realm actually exist?

Corpse-Driving Sect is a major sect of thousands of years, maybe the Cultivation Hall might have relevant records.'

After pondering on martial arts, Lou Yi began to study Immortal Dao skills.

[Magic: Corpse Control Technique (Major Success 0/5000), Rain Technique (Proficient 0/200), Sword Control Technique (Not Initiated)]

The learning condition for the Sword Control Technique has not been triggered yet.

Currently, aside from the Corpse Control Technique, which overlaps somewhat with talent control, he only mastered a Rain Technique.

With energy being so abundant, Lou Yi casually upgraded the Rain Technique to the next stage.

Rain Technique (Proficient 0/200) → Rain Technique (Mastery 0/1000)

Unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind.

In those memories, he was born into a grand immortal cultivation family with true persons, but was an ordinary cultivator with poor spirit roots and orphaned parents.

Unable to advance further in cultivation, the family sent him to the opened wilderness areas, specifically responsible for planting Spirit Fields.

From a twenty-year-old lad to a middle-aged man who only married at forty, and then to a gray-haired old man nearing death.

Lou Yi's cultivation had only gone from Qi Cultivation First Level to Qi Cultivation Third Level.

But his Rain Technique was brilliant, being one of the top in the family.

With a wave, large areas of spiritual rain would fall, and the harvest of the Spirit Fields he cultivated was the best in the family.

The memory ended here, and in reality, Lou Yi opened his eyes.

A cool energy entered his body from the void.

It didn't seem to have any impact on his flesh, migrating again to the head region.

'Screech!'

In his mind, an eagle let out an excited cry, opened its beak, and continuously devoured this energy.

Its body was changing, glowing, quite dazzling.
